The Bagpipes, They Don't Sing No More
Member of the Scottish clan you wear your kilt so well
Love me with abandon, you know I know, nary a hard sell
But now a change looms over us, this place where we dwell
The bagpipes, they don't sing no more in silent living hell
-------------------------------------------------
Black eyes they don't shine no more to cast a magic spell
You sit alone with your head down low in a dark, lonely cell
A part of you is gone from me now without a word of farewell
The bagpipes, they don't sing no more in silent living hell
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You cast your shadow near me as if for a reason to dispel
Quiet mystery stands, waiting, still, like water for the swell
Restless fear surrounds a moat you retreat into your shell
The bagpipes, they don't sing no more in silent living hell
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I watch you sleep more often now, dreams that foretell
Once upon a time, not long ago, before the curtain fell
When hear no evil had no meaning rings a warning bell
The bagpipes, they don't sing no more in silent living hell
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
